Building up potential energy in the legs

I have always heard that power comes from the legs, but that has always been an amorphous concept for me. But I kind of had a mini-epithany at the range before work this morning wherein I created much torque within my right leg on the backswing-- like I was clockwise screwing my right foot in the ground. I was actually trying to mimic the Hogan transitional bump. As the torque was building up at the top of the backswing it kind of pushed my hips laterally forward a bit, then I immediately transferred that built up energy into my left foot with the left knee bent inward bracing against it until I let my hips loose.


It was like a was creating torqued up potential energy in my right leg and transferred it my left leg to be released in maximum kinetic energy when I cleared my hips. I'm not an engineer, so my terminology may be wrong, but I believe I understand how the legs (not just spinning hips) can create power.

Make sense?
